Takoyaki was invented in Osaka in the 1930s, and the city still eats it standing up, scalding hot, off a little paper tray. Blow on it first. Street food here also means okonomiyaki straight off the griddle and grilled crab legs from the Dotonbori stalls.
Experience the ultimate foodie adventure in Osaka's vibrant Shinsekai district. Indulge in authentic local cuisine and discover hidden gems on our immersive food tour.
